On May 15, 1869, Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, was still in Philadelphia, and there was no way, there were still many things to be arranged, such as the handling of Lincoln's cabinet members, such as the handling of his own cheap old man......

There's no way, you have to arrange some personal problems, there are a lot of big officials who have surrendered...... These are all cabinet members, of course they have to make arrangements, such as Secretary of War Cameron, you old boy is a war criminal, go to jail!

And Judge Minister Best, forget it, you guy is not that bad, the key is that Li Mengyang has no excuses, then simply, Minister of Justice, you definitely can't do it, dismiss yourself and go home, go farming.

Make the best use of your talents, of course, in fact, the reason why these two guys are arranged like this is mainly because the two of them are very old, and they really don't have much use value, but some people are still quite good.

For example, Lincoln's secretary Nicholas, this guy is very loyal, he cried when Lincoln died, so such a person still stays in the government department and does something.

As for his own cheap old father-in-law...... You wait.

To be honest, Li Mengyang really didn't expect Lincoln to die like this from beginning to end, really!

In the original history, Lincoln was killed by an actor named John after the end of the American Civil War. Wilkes. Booth's guy was assassinated, and after he killed someone, he shouted, 'This is what happens to the tyrant......

But, Booth...... There is also a person with this surname in the ranks of our revolutionary army, and the official is not small.

That's right, Colonel Booth. When Li Mengyang knew this person, he felt that this surname was more impressive. As a result, I heard about it after chatting a few times. This Booth had a distant relative named John. Wilkes...... Their family used to be in Maryland, and then they went to New York!

Needless to say? It's definitely him!

So, this guy Li Mengyang told this Booth at that time, you can bring that relative of yours to our empire and let him perform for the masses of our empire...... What does this mean, Li Mengyang himself knows.

As a traverser, Li Mengyang must do this, because it is very simple. Only in this way can the development of history be close to the history of his mind as it was...... Not to mention, Li Mengyang is not particularly familiar with this period of American history, and if it weren't for Marx's comments on the American Civil War, it is estimated that he would know even less.

If Lincoln doesn't have an accident, then at least Li Mengyang knows Lincoln, and it will make it easier for him to control what is going to happen, although there are already many, many things beyond his control. But you have to work hard in this direction, right?

So. Lincoln's death really gave Li Mengyang a headache, Philadelphia should have been liberated peacefully, but there was a moth, which is really ...... But right now, there is another thing that makes Li Mengyang depressed......

"Your Majesty! Britain's Foreign Secretary, Earl Clarendon, asks to see! ”

"Huh?"

Earl Clarendon?

Li Mengyang naturally knows what this earl does, the current British Foreign Secretary, so why did he come? What is this guy going to do?

Li Mengyang made a good choice at that time, he said so.

"Just let Liszt go and see him, so that the level can be just right."

Li Mengyang didn't see this Clarendon, and this excuse is also very good, that is, the reciprocal relationship, and the most important thing is that he Li Mengyang feels that this Earl Clarendon may make something happen.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liszt to come over to report.

"Your Majesty! That Earl Clarendon came back to talk to us about not continuing to attack the United States. "Liszt was really sweating in his head when he said this.

Not to attack the United States?

This battle has been fought to this extent, is it said to stop?

Or should it be said that although the military strength of the empire is very strong, there are few people after all, and if the United States cannot be completely subdued quickly, then it will definitely fall short!

Liszt's idea, in fact, Li Mengyang said it a long time ago, otherwise why did he let his generals go out and capture everywhere with 10,000 people? It's just for the sake of it!

Why does it have to be fast?

In fact, there is a very simple thing, that is, Li Mengyang knows the example.

This example is not too good, for us Chinese it is a history of blood and tears, right! It was the later Japanese invasion of China!

For this history of Japan's aggression against us, then we Chinese naturally have nothing to say, it is definitely a war of justice over evil!

However, if we carefully analyze this war, it is not difficult for us to find out why the Japanese lost.

To put it simply, Japan will definitely lose, which is an inevitable result, but what is the truth inside?

Japan's full-scale invasion of China was the Lugou Bridge Incident, and in fact, this matter was also abrupt for Japan, so let's not talk about the specifics, even Japan's top leaders also debated whether this matter should be expanded or not, that is, to start an all-out war with China.

Later, a land minister named Sugiyama Moto, he said, "It will be solved in three months at most."

Yes, it is this arrogant statement that China will be destroyed in three months!

Needless to say, this result is needless to say, but what does this reveal?

That is, in fact, Japan, just hopes to solve the matter within three months, and he doesn't want to drag it out!

To put it simply, that is, once the time drags on, then as long as the Chinese side does not admit defeat, then Japan will lose, the little devil thinks that it is very good, a quick victory, but once it cannot be quickly resolved, then Japan will lose.

How many people are there in Japan? Just a little more resources?

Even if Japan's industrial strength at that time was much stronger than China's, and the steel output was several times higher, anyway, there were all kinds of it, but in the end, the little devil still lost!

And now, in Li Mengyang's situation, the American Empire at this time is like Little Japan...... Oh. There are still differences. We're not like them. We're not brutes!

In short, in terms of strategy, it is really similar, and the empire now has several differences, on the one hand, the military discipline on its side, the American Civil War, and then the Lincoln has surrendered.

Although Lincoln resigned as president, it was also his surrender. You can take advantage of this.

However, it is not enough to use it alone, and the current situation is forcing Li Mengyang to drive the chariot of the American Empire and keep moving forward! Forward! Forward!

He really can't stop, and he has to pick up speed......

So now that the Earl of Clarendon, the British Foreign Secretary, has said, let our empire not continue to attack, then will we listen?

"Hahaha......" Li Mengyang smiled after listening to the news delivered by Liszt.

"Your Majesty! I'm going to tell that idiot old man! Let him get out of here! "How long has Liszt been with Li Mengyang, if you still don't understand?

"Wait." Li Mengyang stopped Liszt, "We can't be so rude." Do you understand? ”

"Huh?" What does Liszt understand? Is it just not to be so tough?

"Remember what I said inside the Capitol when I was in Washington, D.C.?" Li Mengyang left such a sentence.

"Oh......" Liszt thought for a moment. Finally understood......

"Your Excellency Earl Clarendon! His Majesty the Emperor has inherited the founding spirit of the United States of America, which naturally includes the precious legacy left by the sages, and this naturally includes the statement of President Monroe......"

"Monroe?"

The Earl of Clarendon immediately understood, simply put, the Emperor did not give him face, the British Foreign Secretary, and this excuse was the damned 'Monroe Doctrine'!

"Humph!" The Earl of Clarendon was angry, but he couldn't do much now, so he had better go back to England first.

Li Mengyang didn't see Earl Clarendon, but he sent a very important message to Britain, that is, the British, you should be honest and leave things on the American side!

The key is that this message is delivered very skillfully, not only to convey the message, but also to let Li Mengyang, the emperor, show the spiritual inheritance of the United States!

Don't underestimate this thing, because in fact, the thing 'country' in Europe and the United States is a relatively abstract concept in itself, and the national consciousness itself appeared very late, and later sociologists even defined the modern state as 'a community imagined by all the people'!

Therefore, the spiritual aspect is also very important, and the current theory has not yet come out, but it does not prevent Li Mengyang from using it.

But is it really good to slap the British in the face like this?

Soon, when the time entered June, Ward's mood in New York City improved, because there were many British warships in New York Harbor!

At this time, the warships at sea are very large, and this is not the length, but the number of decks!

Ironclad ships have not yet been fully developed and utilized, so the warships of the previous generation are still the main force at this time, and these warships have a characteristic, that is, in order to install more guns, so they have to build more decks, four decks, that is basically a limit, and this time back British battleships, there are several three-storey, more are two-storey.

Then this combat effectiveness is still very strong, a full 20, basically the battleships that can come near the Pacific Ocean, basically all come, although 20 is nothing for a superpower like Britain, but it can come so many in such a short period of time, it really shows its strength.

Ward's heart is somewhat spectrum, he feels that New York should be able to be defended!

New York is made up of several islands, and now, looking at the power of the sea, with the help of the British, and the navy of the United States has the last strength, although the Dahlgren surrendered, but there are still warships.

Constitution!

This is the largest warship in the United States, this warship...... Two decks, well, no comparison with the British.

But can it really hold on? (To be continued......)

PS: What, the international market has fallen very fiercely in the past two days...... Well, the black car actually doesn't want the crow's mouth to be right before, but some relevant data is really scary...... But the black car is still the same sentence, the black car has absolute confidence in China's economy, and this point, the black car is really sure that it can no longer be determined! Thank you all for your support, thank you very much!
